Description

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jen Hofer. Bilingual Edition. INTERVENIR/INTERVENE is a searing, tender, unflinching collaboration between two Mexican poets—Dolores Dorantes, who lived in Ciudad Juárez for 25 years and now has political asylum in Los Angeles, and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez, who lives in Mexico City. INTERVENIR/INTERVENE asks questions no one should have to ask: in a climate of state-sponsored violence, what kinds of speech, writing, relation are possible? We are being intervened. How do we collaborate? How do we resist?
